There are many great tools out there, but every now and then you come across one that changes how you shoot. Well, today I am sharing a review of one of those tools.

We’ve already solved the lens cap issue: Pop your lens cap into a holder and it works great. We’re offering additional holders at discount with our kits so you can dedicate a holder or two to your lens cap(s).
